scal

cuBLAS Level-1 APIs - cublas<t>scal

Description

This code demonstrates a usage of cuBLAS scal function to compute the product of a vector by a scalar

A = | 1.0 | 2.0 | 3.0 | 4.0 |

This function scales the vector x by the scalar α and overwrites it with the result

See documentation for further details.

CUDA APIs involved

• cublas<t>scal API

Building (make)

Prerequisites

• A Linux/Windows system with recent NVIDIA drivers.
• CMake version 3.18 minimum

Build command on Linux

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make

Make sure that CMake finds expected CUDA Toolkit. If that is not the case you can add argument -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=/path/to/cuda/bin/nvcc to cmake command.

Build command on Windows

$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake -DCMAKE_GENERATOR_PLATFORM=x64 ..
$ Open cublas_examples.sln project in Visual Studio and build

Usage

$  ./cublas_scal_example

Sample example output:

A
1.00 2.00 3.00 4.00
=====
A (scaled)
2.20 4.40 6.60 8.80
